For those who denigrate bars/restaurants etc what else do you suggest that is financially viable?
York is a leisure town, attracting 7 million tourists or so, should we make it uninviting?
I don't see many bars/restaurants closing down indeed they are opening all the time...like all business some do well, some do not but having lots of them gives an enviable mix
Perhaps York would be better if it was like Bradford or Middlesbrough where there is little to attract anyone?

Such as the shopfront ?
"The work will include structural and roof repairs, a new shopfront and windows"
Oh dear.
